Forming a Christian Mind (FACM) is an annual conference for postgraduates, post-docs and junior academics in Cambridge. It equips Christians in the academic world for their double calling: to study excellently on the basis of a biblical worldview, and to use their studies for cultural apologetics and evangelism. This conference helps post-grads to recognise and pursue these two goals together with other Christians, so they grow in confidence and fruitfulness within their disciplines.

This year's non-residential conference takes place over two days, and the main speakers are:

Dr Os Guinness (author and social critic) on ‘Reformation and Freedom’

Dr Tim Davy (Redcliffe College) on ‘Locating ourselves in redemptive history’

Dr Rhoda Hawkins (Sheffield University) on ‘Time in our faculty: Natural Sciences’

Prof. John Coffey (University of Leicester) on ‘Time in our faculty: Humanities’
